"Smack!"
Old Master Huo slammed his hand on the table. "Why are you yelling at Qi Zhen? Didn't she go crazy because she couldn't handle it? If she's crazy, where else should she be sent if not to a mental hospital?"
"That's right!"
"I see now, she's just faking her madness to shirk responsibility!"
Huo An, “…” These people are really despicable.
Master Huo made the decision: "Either send her to a mental hospital, or take her to the funeral hall to kowtow and confess her sins."
It is absolutely forbidden to kowtow and admit wrongdoing at the funeral hall.
Huo An replied, "This is my family matter, and I should decide how to handle it."
No one expected Huo An to say that.
Second Master Huo asked in surprise, "Are you saying we have no right to interfere with you?"
Huo An knew he had gone a bit too far, but he had to insist, "That's not what I meant. It's just that Xu Que is my wife, and I can't let her lose face like that."
Old Master Huo frowned, displeased with Huo An's protection of his so-called wife. "Then what about your mother? Did she just die in vain?"
Huo An said, "Xu Que was just stating the facts. She didn't expect my mother to care so much about Huang Ling. My mother's health isn't good either, so it can't all be blamed on Xu Que."
Old Master Huo sneered, "I understand, you mean your mother deserved it."
Huo An denied it, his face turning red with anxiety, "No."
Second Master Huo was no longer willing to listen. "Qizhen, what do you say?"
“From a legal standpoint, as long as my father doesn’t pursue her responsibility and chooses to forgive her, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Second Master Huo thought he wanted to let it go, "Aren't you going to seek justice for Grandma?"
Huo Qizhen shook his head.
“We’ll send the person to the police station, and my dad can sign a letter of understanding and get the person out right away. I don’t want to waste any time.”
Second Master Huo glared at Huo An, "You're just going to let it go like that?"
Huo Qizhen walked over and helped Huo Er Taiye up. "Of course not. Since he has gone mad, let's send him to a mental hospital for treatment first! We'll talk about everything after he's recovered."
Huo An was about to speak when Huo Qizhen turned to look at him. "The mourning hall for Huo Yunzhen has been set up. Aren't you going to take a look?"
Only Xu Niannian's family and a few of his friends were helping Huo Yunzhen. No one from the Huo family went. Huo An couldn't bear to see his mourning hall too deserted, so he brought some people over.
As he watched him leave, Second Master Huo grew increasingly disappointed. "Qizhen! Are you really just going to let it go like this? Your grandmother should have been perfectly fine."
"Whether it counts or not, Xu Que will spend the rest of his life in a mental hospital."
Upon hearing this, there was nothing that Second Master Huo didn't understand.
He immediately showed a satisfied expression.
"Then send them in! Remember, they can't come out."
Huo Qizhen nodded.
Second Master Huo pointed to a group of Huo clan members behind him, "You don't need to pressure Huo An anymore. Go around and see if there's anything lacking, and make up for it quickly."
Huo Qizhen helped Huo Er Taiye walk towards the backyard. "Second Taiye, your room is ready. You are old, so go and rest first! When we need you to appear, I will have someone invite you."
Second Master Huo was indeed tired. Upon hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "Just have someone else take me there. You should go to the mourning hall quickly!"
Huo Qizhen insisted on escorting him to the guest room, saying, "Grandma is gone, and you are my only support now."
Old Master Huo felt a pang of heartache. "You, as a father, are you worried that he might do something?"
"yes."
Huo Qizhen then told her about Xu Que stealing Old Madam Huo's phone to transfer ten million to hire a murderer.
“I told my dad about this, but he didn’t believe me at all. He preferred to think that my grandma was worried about Ma Rui’s serious illness rather than that Xu Que was framing him. He also warned Tingzhen and me not to tell anyone and affect the Huo family’s reputation. That same day, he urged the police to close the case. The clues the police found stopped when they reached my grandma, but I didn’t want my grandma to leave with such a grievance.”
Grandpa Huo was so angry that his beard stood on end. "Your father is blinded by lust and has become completely confused! I'm going to the police station myself to explain the situation."
Huo Qizhen stopped him, "It's getting late, you should rest first, and then go."
When Huo An received the call from his assistant, Huo Yunzhen's mourning hall had just been set up.
Upon hearing that Xu Que had been taken to a mental hospital, Huo An didn't react for a moment, until Xu Niannian urged him a few times.
Huo An: "Was your wife's passing normal?"
The assistant felt her mouth was dry from talking and didn't want to explain anymore, so she directly sent the video she had taken to Huo An.
Xu Que's eyes were vacant, his mouth was half-open, saliva was drooling from his throat, and with his disheveled hair, he did indeed look like a madman at first glance.
Xu Niannian and Xu Zian ran outside as soon as they saw the video. They couldn't believe that Xu Que had gone mad and were determined not to let anyone send her to a mental hospital.
After running a few steps, Xu Niannian ran back, "Uncle, come with us!"
Huo Anxin knew that this trip would be a waste of time. It would be fine if Xu Que's side was delayed for a few days, but Huo Yunzhen's funeral could not be taken lightly.
"You two go and take a look! I'll stay here and keep Yunzhen company."
Xu Niannian and the others couldn't object to this, so they reluctantly left.
Inside the mourning hall, everyone seemed to have endless things to do.
Only Huo An stood in the middle, lost in thought. In just two days, he had not only lost his mother, but also his beloved child.
Even the woman he loves might not be able to be saved.
How did things turn out this way?
Regarding the purchase of the murderer, Huo An kept urging the police station to close the case immediately.
They were all rejected by the other party on the grounds that the evidence was not complete.
Jian Yu has been officially defined as missing.
Jian Yu was still asleep, and An Ke couldn't turn on her phone, so she had no idea what was happening outside.
Even though Jian Yu gave instructions, An Ke still didn't dare to go out easily.
After Jian Yu woke up, he immediately got dressed and took An Ke out.
After waiting for a while at a hamburger shop, someone came over and handed Jianyu a USB drive.
"As expected, I have successfully purchased it."
The man was also carrying a notebook. "Do you want to see it?"
Simply plug in the USB drive.
After reading it, Jian Yu was very satisfied. "Thank you."
"Sure, great business! Final payment?"
Jian Yu glanced at the time on his phone. "The money should arrive in an hour."
The other party left satisfied.
After watching the video, Anke's heart was pounding with fear.
She wrapped the scarf around her neck again, leaving only her eyes showing. "Are we really okay to come out now?"
Jian Yu's attention was entirely focused on the map on her phone, and she had no time to pay attention to her.
After confirming the navigation route, Jian Yu put away the USB drive and went to the public security bureau that was handling her missing person case.
Under Huo An's arrangement, Huo Yunzhen's mourning hall was moved to the room next to Old Madam Huo's.
Xu Niannian and Xu Zian also returned empty-handed and were discussing with Huo An how to bring Xu Que out.
So when a group of criminal police officers burst in, both mourning halls received the news.
Everyone looked bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
Second Master Huo asked Huo Qizhen in a low voice, "Why did you let them come to the mourning hall?"
Huo Qizhen was also puzzled, "I didn't hire them this time, and I don't know why they came?"
The police quickly gave them an answer.
“We have received a report from the person involved that Huo An is suspected of hiring someone to commit the crime. Please come with us.”
